News on the 2020-2021 season

The now published programme for the 2020-2021 season will be largely a virtual one, with speakers and judges working over the Club's Zoom account. There are some important changes to be aware of:

The print league, print panel and annual exhibition will still be run. A means of judging these print competitions via Zoom has been established.
PDI images can be uploaded as before.
All other Trophy competitions will be PDI only, due to the complexities of managing/judging a mixture of print and PDI entries via Zoom.

Zoom meetings will open from 7.30PM for a 7.45PM start on Friday evenings.

Outdoor events programme for 2020-2021 season

We are excited to announce a series of outdoor events where we can meet up and take pictures. Experienced members will be on-hand to offer advice and guidance, whilst fully respecting Covid-19 social distancing. Follow-up Zoom sessions will be held to cover post-processing techniques of images taken at each of the events.

As some events are weather and/or tide-dependent, exact dates and times may only be confirmed on week in advance. Members will be kept fully informed via regular newsletters.
